I'm looking for a PHP framework for small projects. Things like the ZEND framework or Symfony are much to big for my needs and they don't save me time. I'm faster developing those small apps by hand instead with on of these mighty frameworks.

Maybe someone has an suggestion?

    *(sidenote)* Zend Framework is a component library that happens to be usable as a full stack framework. But you can very much also only pick certain components from it. As such, it is not necessarily "big". – Gordon Aug 10 '10 at 06:50
  • Are you sure you want a framework. Would a template engine would work (like smarty). – Martin York Aug 10 '10 at 06:52

I found myself in the same boat as you, and out of convenience wrote a handful of classes that I use regularly. I extend these classes for each project that needs extra features.

There are also a few lightweight solutions (more robust than mine) mentioned in this post.
